Two Gardaí have received medical treatment after separate assaults in Dundalk, Co Louth.
In the first incident, a Garda man was punched in the face and received injuries to his lip and nose when he was assaulted during a routine traffic stop yesterday.
In a second incident, a female garda, who was also making a routine stop, was attacked.
His nose was broken and he suffered injuries to his eye socket.
Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with the incidents.
It occurs just 11 days after two Gardaí were attacked in the same area.
On December 5, a Garda, in his 20s, was hit by a car on the M1 motorway.
At 1.45 pm, the garda and his colleagues from the Dundalk Roads Police Unit stopped a car along the northbound carriageway near Exit 20 while conducting speed checks.
The car stopped and the garda got out of his patrol vehicle to speak to the driver.
The driver then accelerated suddenly, hitting the garda and throwing him to the side before fleeing the scene.
The garda was treated for a broken clavicle and evaluated for concussion.
In a second incident, a Garda, also in his 20s, was hospitalized after allegedly being attacked during a drug search in Dundalk.
Since then, a man has been charged with assault.
